A quiet and much-appreciated update has graced the PS Plus Premium/Deluxe rendition of the classic Resident Evil Director’s Cut. Gamers who had been navigating the less-than-ideal PAL version can now breathe easy. The game has introduced a feature allowing the switch from PAL to the much-preferred NTSC version, previously accessible only in the Americas, bringing a breath of fresh air to long-standing frustrations.
Sony has been on a roll, making strides towards enhancing the gaming experience by integrating a region-switching option in its library of PS Plus classic titles. Back in 2022, players raised concerns when they realized PAL versions of these nostalgic gems ran slower and less smoothly compared to their NTSC counterparts. Responding to the feedback, Sony committed to expanding accessibility by making NTSC options available wherever possible—a promise they’ve steadily honored.
The latest Resident Evil Director’s Cut update was highlighted by a keen-eyed Reddit user, the_andshrew. This patch marks a significant upgrade for those eagerly awaiting their chance to revisit the game with the improved NTSC experience. Even if you’re not a PS Plus Premium member, you’re in luck; the game is available for standalone purchase on the PS Store.
In addition, there’s good news for nostalgic fans who originally bought the game on older platforms like the PS3, PSP, or Vita: you might qualify for a complimentary upgrade. To check if you’re eligible, simply visit the game’s page on the PS Store after logging into your account. If a free download is available, you’ll be notified automatically, ensuring you don’t miss out on this value-packed opportunity.
